At its regular meeting on April 14, the Hilton Central School District Board of Education adopted a $76.9 million budget proposal for the 2015-16 school year. This is a 2.99 percent increase over last year’s budget, which will result in an estimated 0.05 percent tax rate increase in all district towns if approved by voters on May 19, according to district representatives.
The adopted budget qualifies Hilton School District residents for a property tax rebate because it is under the state imposed tax cap. For most property owners, this will be approximately three percent of their annual school taxes paid.
Details of the budget will be available on the Hilton District website at www.hilton.k12.ny.us/budget-profile.htm.
District residents can vote on the budget proposition as well as a $915,000 bus purchase proposition and two open positions on the Board of Education on Tuesday, May 19. The three-year terms of Daniel Wellington and Thomas Abbott will expire June 30.
Polls located at Hilton High School (Parma, Clarkson and Hamlin residents) and Northwood Elementary School (Greece residents) will be open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Voters must be registered with the Monroe County Board of Elections or with District Clerk Julie Norris (585-392-1000, ext. 7099) to vote on May 19. Handicapped accessible parking is available.
